Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

After G1 of the finals started, the game did not go as everyone expected - the Bulls, who were waiting for work, suppressed the Thunder, who were tired from long battles, and then advanced with great success.

In fact, the Bulls may be a little rested because they have not played a game for more than a week and rely solely on team training games to maintain their condition.

In the first half of the first quarter, the Bulls took 7 outside shots, and only Duane and Curry each hit a three-pointer.

George, who originally averaged 2.6 three-pointers per game, now missed 2 three-pointers as soon as he started.

Fortunately, the Thunder players had just finished the tiebreaker, their physical condition had not fully recovered, and their performance was very poor.

The Bulls relied on the front line as their king, defended hard, played steadily, and used games as training, and slowly found the feeling in the second quarter of the game.

Butler, who came off the bench, even relied on switching offenses and drawing fouls to score 10 points in the second quarter, helping the Bulls quickly widen the point difference.

Duan also relied on punching the Thunder inside in the low post, scoring 9 points in a single quarter, and already scored 17 points after the first half.

45 to 55, relying on a strong attack in the second quarter, the Bulls finally entered the second half with a 10-point lead.

The game soon entered the third quarter. The Bulls had just gained momentum and widened the point difference to 18 points when something unexpected happened in the game.

However, the accident did not happen to the Bulls, but to one of the Thunder's two core players, Westbrook, who was too tired from playing and suffered leg cramps and had to return to the tunnel for a checkup.

The Thunder players were already very tired from playing, and now that something like this happened again, they were naturally not in the mood to play.

At the end of the third quarter, the score reached 64-86, and the Bulls had established a 22-point lead.

When this happened, Thunder head coach Scott Brooks was very straightforward and took the initiative to give up. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, he sent a full substitute lineup and chose to give up the game.

Bulls head coach Scott Skiles saw this situation and did not add insult to injury. Instead, he also replaced players on the bench, and even Harden, who had been hidden in the ice, also got playing time.

In other words, both sides were pure substitute lineups, and the Bulls played much stronger.

In the end, the Bulls severely ravaged the Thunder with a huge advantage of 36 points.

Because the victory in G1 of the finals was too easy, Duane, who clocked in for the third quarter, could only give a formulaic speech during the post-game interview, and then prayed a little for Westbrook, hoping that nothing serious would happen to Westbrook.

Otherwise, in the future, some bastards might take advantage of him and spread rumors that Dune needs his teammates to lose his talent in order to win the championship.

Perhaps Duen's prayer had a little effect.

The day after G1 of the Finals, the Thunder team reporter revealed to the public in advance that after a comprehensive physical examination, Westbrook's hamstring had no structural damage.

For Westbrook himself, there are temporary hamstring soreness and other uncomfortable symptoms, but it does not affect sports.

This means that Westbrook is not unable to continue participating in the next game.

Of course, for the sake of Westbrook's physical health and career, the Thunder have temporarily included Westbrook on the daily watch list.

Whether Westbrook can successfully play in G2 of the next finals depends on the follow-up physical examination report and Westbrook's own wishes.

The news of Westbrook's foot cramps passed quickly, and time came to June 6 in the blink of an eye. It was still the United Center, and G9 of the Finals started again.

Perhaps the influence of the hamstring still exists, and Westbrook did not get a minute of playing time in tonight's game.

After all, the Thunder are missing a leading player, and it is Westbrook with explosive athletic ability and full fighting spirit.

Even though Westbrook's scoring efficiency is not high, he is indeed full of points in other aspects. As a point guard, he can connect the team and help his teammates inside to score better.

Now that Westbrook is gone, the Thunder's problem of no one controlling the ball and organizing is suddenly exposed.

As the leader of the team, Durant still has some responsibilities. When the team was lagging behind in the first two quarters and the score was about to be widened, Durant relied on stick singles to seize the score.

However, Durant is not good at organization and does not know how to lead a team to win. Now he can only ensure his own scoring efficiency.

Without Westbrook, other role players are like headless chickens who don't know how to play. Durant was very anxious and scored 41 points, but to no avail.

In the end, the Thunder lost to the Bulls with a 14-point gap, thus losing two consecutive away games.

After playing G2 of the Finals, Durant was obviously a little frustrated during the post-game interview.

Usually when reporters ask some pointed questions, Durant will respond mercilessly. Sometimes he can't think of anything to say for a while, and he will feel resentful after returning, and then silently open trumpets one after another, in private. Find some places here.

But this time, Durant just shook his head dejectedly, or hesitated to speak, and then remained silent.

Obviously, Westbrook's injury and the team's unfavorable record have dealt a big blow to Durant.

But after returning to the hotel, Durant did not sit still and wait for death as everyone imagined.

"Hey Kobe, I need your help.

My team was in trouble and I couldn't use my skills to lead my team to victory.

Moreover, I want to know how to defeat that guy Du En!
He is like a mountain standing in front of me. I want to conquer him, but I can never climb over him.

Kobe, do you have any good advice? "

Durant asked management to get his phone back, and then called Kobe, who was recuperating at home due to a torn Achilles tendon.

Although Durant's idol is McGrady, McGrady doesn't have a championship and can't give Durant the help he wants.

But Kobe is different. Even if he is not a big champion, he wears championship rings on his whole hand, which makes Durant envious.

Once upon a time, Durant also called Kobe to ask for advice on offensive techniques when he couldn't sleep at three or four in the morning.

Kobe gave a good answer and even said that Durant is welcome to continue to come to him for advice in the future.

This time, Durant was really at his wits end, but he wanted to win and win a championship, so he revealed his ambitions and secrets to Kobe.

However, Kobe's next answer still exceeded Durant's expectations.

"I'm sorry KD, I'm just like you, we have the same experiences and thoughts.

I can only tell you how to become stronger, but I can't defeat Dun in the finals yet.

I don't have such experience, so I can't help you.

I can only encourage you, you are younger than me and more talented than me.

I think you have the potential to beat Duane!
As long as you firmly believe, as long as you do your best on the court, your heart will respond to you, basketball will not lie! "

After Kobe finished his serious reply, Durant realized that this time he was really a little sick and rushed to the doctor.

Even though Kobe has the same number of championship rings as Duane, Kobe still failed miserably in terms of game data against Duane.

To some extent, Kobe was Duane's number one loser.

And he, Durant, is very likely to follow in the footsteps of Kobe and lose to Durn in the finals again and again.

"Do I want to be like Kobe?

Until the Bulls rebuild, will they have a chance to win my championship and be the ruler of the league for a year or two?

No, Kobe also said that I am more talented than him, and I have the possibility of defeating Duan..." (End of Chapter)
